In a filing Tuesday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware, the Lindon, Utah-based company said it has received a "potential" $36 million offer for its Unix business from JGD Management, an umbrella business of New York-based investment firm York Capital Management. The filing has been posted on the Groklaw.com Web site, which has been tracking the legal records of the ongoing lawsuits between SCO, IBM, Novell, and others. In it, SCO reports that the offer includes money for its Unix business, litigation claims, and for litigation expenses.

The bid is subject to approval by the bankruptcy court, according to the filing, and competitive bids could still be accepted from other potential buyers.
